Well done Jan for doing this. Date was noted and duly cheered on your progress.

Me too, well done

Wrote it on my calendar when you first mentioned it .

When is/was it? I would like to watch it, on All4 if necessary. I am sure other GNs would like to see it too.

I would like to watch 🙋‍♀️

It was definitely on this afternoon and must have been on last Friday as Jan was in the previous round winners chair

I have just watched both episodes with Jan in on All4. What a lovely lady and so clever.

She did very well to win against such a strong contestant the first time and the second time she put up a very good fight.

Highly impressive.

Well done, Jan! I'm a big Countdown fan and had made a note to watch this when it was first mentioned on GN. You were unlucky to get so close on the second programme but I'm pleased you went home with a teapot!

Didn't see these shows, didn't know about it. But well done for coping with the lights and pressure!

I don't mind the show for a little while, but I grew to hate Scrabble when I was little (we didn't have a telly, so it was a popular board game on a wet weekend!). The principle is OK (I'm fine with crosswords) but the way most folk seem to play is just Soooooooo irritating!

Thanks so much for the kind comments. If thus appears under a different username, apologies, but I had trouble logging in at one point and registered under a new name (avocado fan?), but it was me!
It aired on Friday 5th and Monday 8th September. It was nerve-wracking but I was so relieved to have won 1 game. Everyone in the studio, including the people behind the scenes, were so lovely and friendly and supportive. Keep watching this week and next to see Ciaron, he was amazing.

granfromafar I've just watched the first 2 episodes featuring Ciaran. Wow... amazing performances!
